Now Drayson has decided to push off and race alcohol-powered cars, writing to Gordon Brown and saying:

"As you know I have a passion for motor racing [in my] unique bio-ethanol fuelled race car... [I now have a] once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... a key step towards my eventual dream of success in the Le Mans 24-hours endurance race... This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase British motorsport technology for environmentally friendly racing... Unfortunately it cannot be combined with the challenge of full-time government office."

It might be that nobody at the front line will miss Drayson, the businessman's minister. But some believe he was actually a good man brought down by inefficient MoD mandarins.
